5.0 out of 5 stars Great Starter Book!, September 17, 2007

By	Katherine Peterson (Michigan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I wanted a basic book that told me about reflexology and acupressure. I am just starting to learn about it, and this book fit the bill. It gave me just enough of the background and history, without being too boring. It had great pictures and diagrams. Not too many to be overwhelming, but just enough to get me really interested. It even gave specific recommendations for what to do for certain ailments. It also did a good job of explaining common terms used in the practice. I definitely recommend this book for the novice wanting to learn some basics about both techniques.
